Hail kalvin Phillips, Hail Declan Rice and Raheem Sterling, any championship player can do what they did tonight, Southgate hasn't got a clue, this team won't progress past the next knock out game. Creativity doesn't count, negative don't concede football is what he brings to the party. Scotland wouldn't win the championship speaks volumes for the performance tonight.

The type of football ( if that’s what you call it ) that Southgate wants them to play isn’t what any of them are used to with their clubs. None of them look comfortable with it at all, and the lack of movement generally suggested to me that some, if not all of them are fed up with what they’re being asked to do. The French commentators repeatedly said that everything England did was so pedestrian and predictable. They were right, it really was a yawn to watch.
If we do have to play France at some point, they probably will humiliate us. Their players are better, and their style of play is superior and exciting to watch. To be honest even with a better manager at the helm, I doubt we would match them.
